"We were on a tight timeline to get our attic ready for Mass Save weatherization and ran into a major stumbling block when it came to the condition of the attic. I called Mario and he came right out to inspect. He gave me a fair price and proceeded to do the very dirty work of cleaning and sanitizing an attic almost 200 years old. He was thorough, careful, and stood behind his work with great integrity. I highly recommend him for any and all home cleaning and disinfecting jobs."

"Awful! This company promises you the world with very little results. My mom had a small fire. The smoke damaged the entire house. All her belongings had to be packed up, cleaned and stored. So my mom signed a repair contract in June 2020 with the completion date of Christmas 2020. No work had even started by November! He took over $100,000 deposit and refuses to return it. He improperly charges O&P and all his attorney says, "Your client signed a contract and you have to pay for anything he bills that the insurance doesn't.". We were billed for software with no explanation. They bill O&P on even storage! DCP is directing us how to proceed as they have all the paperwork and a local news station is interested in the story. My mom turns 87 next month. They have taken every kind of advantage! And to boot, her belongings were water damaged. We didn't get so many things back! Collectibles, stein's. Many collectibles were broken due to their poor packing. Someone put her paperweight collection on top of her hummels??? Who does that? We were promised her belongings would all be professionally cleaned! What a laugh! My mom and I have been washing every single thing for 3 weeks. Alot of her furniture was so water damaged we had the mover discard it. The remaining furniture is full of mildew. And now this company is denying everything!!!! We have pictures. They are trying to say the mover damaged it? I have used dozens of contractors in my day and I can honestly say I have never met a more incompetent company. And the owner, Dan Strong, could care less how he treats people. He has been holding onto her money for 20 months!!! Who does this?"

Some states require mold removal specialists to be licensed, while others require licensed mold testing companies to create remediation protocols that any contractor can carry out. You can use our state licensing tool to find requirements in your area. In either case, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced professional for mold removal to ensure the safety of your home and your family.
It’s possible to scrub mold off of visible surfaces yourself, but it’s not usually a good idea. Mold is not only a potential health risk, but it’s also difficult to treat in its entirety, especially because it can grow behind walls and in other hidden areas a DIYer might miss. Since mold is a serious and often pervasive issue, you should hire a professional that will remove all of the mold—including any that might be hidden—run industrial air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and complete mold testing to ensure the underlying problem is solved.
The most effective way to remove mold includes testing affected surfaces and the air for spores, creating a protocol for removal, carrying out the steps within the protocol, running air scrubbers for the recommended amount of time, and then completing a post-remediation round of testing to confirm the issue is solved. Since this work is very involved and there are health risks if done incorrectly, you should always hire an experienced professional to handle mold removal.
The average cost for mold remediation is around $2,200, and most projects fall somewhere between $1,100 and $3,300. Your total will depend on many factors, including the surface area that is affected by mold, the extent of the issue, how much building material your professional needs to replace, whether or not testing is necessary for safety reasons, and existing indoor air quality.
Mold removal will take between one and five days in most cases, but severe mold issues can take several weeks to correct. Your timeline will depend on how much mold there is in your home, where the mold is located, and how much testing and aftercare is required. If you have mold behind your walls or you have an excessive amount of mold that requires removal and running air scrubbers for several days, you could be looking at over a week for the process to be completed.
